Chairman's Welcome

May I extend a very warm welcome to the Brighton & Hove Albion Supporters’ Club website.

The Supporters’ Club was originally formed in 1912 and has been providing practical help to the football club and its fans for more than a century. In the 1930s, for instance, we helped to fund the construction of the first North Stand at the Goldstone Ground.

The current Supporters’ Club was established in 1982. Now totally independent of the football club, it’s a democratic organisation working to maximise the matchday experience for its members and for fans in general. We liaise with the Albion, with Sussex Police and other authorities, and look to assist the football club whenever we can.

That practical help was particularly necessary in the 20 years or so before the opening of the Amex Stadium in 2011 as the Albion struggled to survive the worst crisis in its history. The Supporters’ Club and its members played a significant part in securing a future for Brighton & Hove Albion.

I hope that the Supporters’ Club will go from strength to strength alongside the Albion, bringing together the family of Seagulls fans from all over the world.

Within this website we aim to keep you up-to-date with news and views, together with the latest information on our very popular coach service that travels to every away game throughout the season. We would also welcome your memories, in either word or pictures, of our wonderful football club.

I hope you find this site both interesting and useful. If so, and you are a long-standing fan or perhaps a new young supporter, we would love you to join our club and become a member of our family of Albion fans.
